(4) Regulations to which this paragraph applies which are made jointly with the Scottish Ministers are subject to the affirmative procedure. () Section 29 of the ILR(S)A (affirmative procedure) applies in relation to regulations to which sub-paragraph (4) applies as it applies in relation to devolved subordinate legislation (within the meaning of Part 2 of that Act) which is subject to the affirmative procedure (but as if references to a Scottish statutory instrument were references to a statutory instrument). (6) Section 32 of the ILR(S)A (laying) applies in relation to the laying before the Scottish Parliament of a statutory instrument containing regulations to which sub-paragraph (4) applies as it applies in relation to the laying before that Parliament of a Scottish statutory instrument (within the meaning of Part 2 of that Act).

Schedule 3 Regulations under section Part 2 Scrutiny of regulations under section 1 () Sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) apply in relation to a statutory instrument containing regulations under section which is subject to a procedure before the Scottish Parliament or the Northern Ireland Assembly as well as a procedure before Parliament as they apply to a statutory instrument containing regulations under section which is subject to a procedure before Parliament but as if the references to Parliament were references to Parliament and the Scottish Parliament or, as the case may be, the Northern Ireland Assembly. (6) This paragraph does not prevent the inclusion of other regulations in a statutory instrument or statutory rule which contains regulations under section (and, accordingly, references in this Schedule to an instrument containing regulations are to be read as references to an instrument containing (whether alone or with other provision) regulations).
